Both of my kids had to adjust to life on the dirt.  TJ liked 
skateboarding and Kate was a rollerblader.  Even on the patchy piece of 
asphalt we call a road, neither was really possible here.  So, if you 
gotta play hardball and win over the kids, I'd say instead of hardball, 
play paintball!(or ride dirtbikes, mountain bikes, horses, ATV's etc.)
The trick is getting the kids to see dirt as their friend...
